Predicting the transverse tensile properties of unidirectional CFRP plies is often based on micromechanical representative volume elements (RVEs) with circular fiber cross-sections, whereas microscopic observations show pronounced ellipticity and siz...
The orientation of fibers with elliptical cross-sections cannot be estimated using standard optical microscopy analysis methods in which the ratio of the minor-axis to the major-axis and orientation of the major-axis are directly used to determine th...
The stress-strain behavior of concrete can be improved by providing a lateral passive confining pressure, such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping. Many axial stress-strain models have been proposed for FRP-confined concrete columns. However,...
Mixtures of “template” and “adder” proteins self-assemble into large amyloid fibers of varying morphology and modulus. Fibers range from low modulus, rectangular cross-sectioned tapes to high modulus, circular cross-sectioned cylinders. Varying the p...
Most existing studies conducted on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete have considered circular and square concrete columns, while limited studies have considered columns with rectangular sections. Studies have confirmed that the circula...
Optical factors affecting hair appearance are reviewed based on hair structures from macroscopic to microscopic viewpoints. Hair appearance is the result of optical events, such as reflection, refraction, scattering, and absorption. The effects of ha...
Hemp, flax, and kenaf are bast fibers with promising material characteristics to sustainably displace synthetic fibers used in composites; however, their use in composite applications is hindered by high material property variability. More widespread...
With the help of the original mathematical method for solving Maxwell’s equations, it is shown that in dielectric waveguides along with usual waveguides and quasi-normal modes, there are perfect invisibility modes or perfect non-scattering mode...
The implementation of shape modification (SM) to reinforced concrete (RC) columns has been demonstrated to be effective when enhancing the effectiveness of the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement of the columns, particularly for non-circular c...
Effective elastic and thermal properties for isotropic or transversely isotropic thermoelastic fibrous composite materials are obtained. Fibers are distributed with the same periodicity along the two perpendicular directions to the fiber orientation....
This work discusses the behavior of transverse energy fluxes of the fundamental core mode of a holey fibers and a photonic band gap fibers when the polarization state of this mode changes. The behavior of the transverse component of the Poynting vect...
Knowledge of texture and residual stresses in tungsten heavy pseudoalloys is substantial for the microstructure optimization. These characteristics were determined in cold and warm rotary swaged W/NiCo composite with help of neutron diffraction. The...
This study is a comprehensive experimental and computational investigation into high-resolution laser beam diagnostics, combining classical statistical techniques, numerical image processing, and machine learning-based predictive modeling. A dataset...
The early embryonic heart is a multi-layered tube consisting of (1) an outer myocardial tube; (2) an inner endocardial tube; and (3) an extracellular matrix layer interposed between the myocardium and endocardium, called “cardiac jelly” (...
An accurate analysis of the dynamic process of ice melting in an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) is of great reference significance for the selection of an ice melting current and the formulation of an ice melting strategy. Existi...
